TTT E  who  does  not  practise  altruism;  he  who  is 
•^  -*•  not  prepared  to  share  his  last  morsel  with  a 
weaker  or  poorer  than  himself;  he  who  neglects 
to  help  his  brother  man,  of  whatever  race,  nation 
or  creed,  whenever  and  wherever  he  meets  suffer- 
ing, and  who  turns  a  deaf  ear  to  the  cry  of  human 
misery  —  is  no  Theosophist. 


HELENA  P.  BLAVATSKY 

Each  human  being  is  an  incarnation  of  his  God, 
in  other  words,  one  with  his  "  Father  in  Heaven." 
All  that  an  average  man  can  know  of  his  "  Father  " 
is  what  he  knows  of  himself,  through  and  within 
himself.  The  soul  of  his  "  Heavenly  Father  "  is 
incarnated  in  him.  The  soul  is  himself,  if  he  is 
successful  in  assimilating  the  divine  individuality 
while  in  his  physical  animal  shell. 


No  Theosophist  has  a  right  to  remain  idle,  on 
the  excuse  that  he  knows  too  little  to  teach. 


^ 


Th^  identity  of  our  physical  origin  makes  no 
appeal  to  our  higher  and  deeper  feelings.  Matter, 
deprived  of  its  soul  and  spirit,  or  its  divine  essence, 
cannot  speak  to  the  human  heart.  But  the  identity 
of  the  soul  and  spirit,  of  real,  immortal  man,  as 
Theosophy  teaches  us,  once  proven  and  deep-rooted 
in  our  hearts,  would  lead  us  far  on  the  road  of 
real  charity  and  brotherly  good  will. 


QUOTATIONS 

Thb  fearless  warrior,  his  precious  life-blood 
oozing  from  his  wide  and  gaping  wounds,  will 
still  attack  the  foe,  drive  him  from  out  his  strong- 
hold, vanquish  him,  ere  he  himself  expires.  Act, 
then,  all  ye  who  fail  and  suffer,  act  like  him ;  and 
from  the  stronghold  of  your  Soul  chase  all  your 
foes  away  —  ambition,  anger,  hatred,  e'en  to  the 
shadow   of   desire  —  when   even   you   have    failed.

Let  thy  Soul  lend  its  ear  to  every  cry  of  pain 
like  as  the  Lotus  bares  its  heart  to  drink  the  morn-

Let  not  the  fierce  Sun  dry  one  tear  of  pain 
before  thyself  hast  wiped  it  from  the  sufferer's 
eye.  But  let  each  burning  human  tear  drop  on 
thy  heart  and  there  remain,  nor  ever  brush  it  off, 
until  the  pain  that  caused  it  is  removed. 


HELENA  P.  B  LAV  AT  SKY 

Strive  with  thy  thoughts  unclean  before  they 
overpower  thee.  Use  them  as  they  will  thee,  for  if 
thou  sparest  them  and  they  take  root  and  grow, 
know  well,  these  thoughts  will  overpower  and  kill 
thee.  Beware,  Disciple,  sufifer  not,  e'en  though  it 
be  their  shadow,  to  approach.  For  it  will  grow, 
increase  in  size  and  power,  and  then  this  thing  of 
darkness  will  absorb  thy  being  before  thou  hast 
well  realized  the  black   foul  monster's  presence. 

"  Truth,  high-seated  upon  its  rock  of  adamant,

Our  Higher  Self  is  a  poor  pilgrim  on  his  way 
to  regain  that  which  he  has  lost. 

For  every  flower  of  love  and  charity  you  plant

disappear  from  your  own.

No  one;  can  study  ancient  philosophies  seriously 
without  perceiving  that  the  striking  similitude  of 
conception  between  all  —  in  their  exoteric  form 
very  often,  in  their  hidden  spirit  invariably  —  is  the 
result  of  no  mere  coincidence,  but  of  a  concurrent 
design ;  and  that  there  was,  during  the  youth  of 
mankind,  one  language,  one  knowledge,  one  uni- 
versal religion,  when  there  were  no  churches,  no 
creeds,  or  sects,  but  when  every  man  was  priest 
unto  himself.  And,  if  it  is  shown  that  already  in 
those  ages  which  are  shut  out  from  our  sight  by 
the  exuberant  growth  of  tradition,  human  religious 
thought  developed  in  uniform  sympathy  in  every 
portion  of  the  globe ;  then,  it  becomes  evident  that 
born  under  whatever  latitude,  in  the  cold  North 
or  the  burning  South,  in  the  East  or  West,  that 
thought  was  inspired  by  the  same  revelations,  and 
man  was  nurtured  under  the  protecting  shadow  of 
the  same  Tree  oe  Knowledge. 


The  selfish  devotee  lives  to  no  purpose.  The 
man  who  does  not  go  through  his  appointed  work 
in  life  —  has  lived  in  vain. 


HELENA  P.  BLAVATSKY 

From  birth  to  death  every  man  is  weaving  des- 
tiny  around   himself,    as   a    spider   does   his   web. 

Man  requires  but  one  church  —  the  Temple  of 
God  within  him. 

Give  up  thy  life  if  thou  wouldst  live. 

Those  who  worship  before  the  shrine  of  the 
ever-Unknowable  Cause  of  all  causes,  ought  to  do 
so  in  the  Silence  and  sanctified  solitude  of  their 
Souls. 

Happiness  may  follow  the  performance  of  duty, 
but  must  not  be  the  motive  for  it. 


QUOTATIONS 

It  [Theosophy]  will  gradually  leaven  and  per- 
meate the  great  mass  of  thinking  and  intelligent 
people  with  its  large-minded  and  noble  ideas  of 
Religion,  Duty,  and  Philanthropy.  Slowly  but 
surely  it  will  burst  asunder  the  iron  fetters  of 
creeds  and  dogmas,  of  social  and  caste  prejudices ; 
it  will  break  down  racial  and  national  antipathies 
and  barriers,  and  will  open  the  way  to  the  practical 
realization  of  the  Brotherhood  of  all  men. 


"  So  shalt  thou  be  in  full  accord  with  all  that 
lives ;  bear  love  to  men  as  though  they  were  thy 
brother  pupils,  disciples  of  one  teacher,  the  sons 
of  one  sweet  mother." 


ThosS  who  practise  their  duty  towards  all,  and 
for  duty's  own  sake,  are  few;  and  fewer  still 
are  those  who  perform  that  duty,  remaining  con- 
tent with  the  satisfaction  of  their  own  secret 
consciousness. 


HELENA  P.  BLAVATSKY 

There  is  a  road,  steep  and  thorny,  beset  with 
perils  of  every  kind,  but  yet  a  road,  and  it  leads 
to  the  Heart  of  the  Universe.  I  can  tell  you  how 
to  find  those  who  will  show  you  the  secret  gate- 
way that  leads  inward  only  and  closes  fast  behind 
the  neophyte  for  evermore.  There  is  no  danger 
that  dauntless  courage  cannot  conquer ;  there  is 
no  trial  that  spotless  purity  cannot  pass  through; 
there  is  no  difficulty  that  strong  intellect  cannot 
surmount.  For  those  who  win  onward,  there  is 
reward  past  all  telling,  the  power  to  bless  and  serve 
Humanity.  For  those  who  fail,  there  are  other 
lives  in  which  success  may  come.

The;rE  is  but  one  Eternal  Truth,  one  universal, 
infinite  and  changeless  spirit  of  Love,  Truth  and 
Wisdom,  impersonal,  therefore,  bearing  a  different 
name  in  every  nation,  one  Light  for  all,  in  which 
the  whole  Humanity  lives  and  moves,  and  has 
its  being.  Like  the  spectrum  in  optics  giving  multi- 
colored and  various  rays,  which  are  yet  caused  by 
one  and  the  same  sun,  so  theologized  and  sacerdotal 
systems  are  many.  But  the  universal  religion  can 
only  he  one  if  we  accept  the  real  primitive  meaning 
of  the  root  of  that  word.  We  Theosophists  so 
accept  it;  and  therefore  say,  we  are  all  brothers 
—  by  the  laws  of  nature,  of  birth,  of  death,  as 
also  by  the  laws  of  our  utter  helplessness  from 
birth  to  death  in  this  world  of  sorrow  and  deceptive 
illusions.  Let  us  then  love,  help  and  mutually 
defend  each  other  against  the  spirit  of  deception; 
and  while  holding  to  that  which  each  of  us  accepts 
as  his  ideal  of  truth  and  unity  —  i.  e.,  to  the  reli- 
gion which  suits  each  of  us  best  —  let  us  unite  to 
form  a  practical  nucleus  of  a  Universal  Brother- 
hood of  Humanity  without  distiction  of  race,  creed 
or  color.

^T^HBOSOPHY  is  that  ocean  of  knozvledge  which 
-*•  spreads  from  shore  to  shore  of  the  evolution 
of  sentient  beings;  unfathomable  in  its  deepest 
parts,  it  gives  the  greatest  minds  their  fullest  scope, 
yet,  shallozv  enough  at  its  shores,  it  will  not  over- 
whelm the  understanding  of  a  child. 


WILLIAM   Q.  JUDGE 

Our  philosophy  of  life  is  one  grand  whole,  every 
part  necessary  and  fitting  into  every  other  part. 
Every  one  of  its  doctrines  can  and  must  be  carried 
to  its  ultimate  conclusion.  Its  ethical  application 
must  proceed  similarly.  If  it  conflict  with  old 
opinions  those  must  be  cast  off.  It  can  never  con- 
flict with  true  morality.  The  spirit  of  Theosophy 
must  be  sought  for;  a  sincere  application  of  its 
principles  to  life  and  act  should  be  made.  Thus 
mechanical  Theosophy,  which  inevitably  leads  — 
as  in  many  cases  it  already  has  —  to  a  negation  of 
brotherhood,  will  be  impossible,  and  instead  there 
will  be  a  living,  actual  Theosophy.  This  will  then 
raise  in  our  hearts  the  hope  that  at  least  a  small 
nucleus  of  Universal  Brotherhood  may  be  formed 
before  we  of  this  generation  are  all  dead. 


Thb;  fact  that  we  are  now  working  in  the  Theo- 
sophical  movement  means  that  we  did  so  in  other 
lives,  must  do  so  again,  and  still  more  important 
that  those  who  are  now  with  us  will  be  reincarnated 
in  our  company  on  our  next  rebirth. 


QUOTATIONS 

Hold  fast  in  silence  to  all  that  is  your  own, 
for  you  will  need  it  in  the  fight;  but  never,  never 
desire  to  get  knowledge  or  power  for  any  other 
purpose  than  to  give  it  on  the  altar,  for  thus  alone 
can  it  be  saved  to  you. 


The  true  road  is  plain  and  easy  to  find ;  it  is 
so  easy  that  very  many  would-be  students  miss  it, 
because  they  can  not  believe  it  to  be  so  simple.

The  person  who  revolves  selfishly  around  himself 
as  a  center,  is  in  greater  danger  of  delusion  than 
any  one  else. 

No  POWER,  human  or  divine,  can  save  us  from 
the  consequences  of  acts  performed.  Each  man 
is  his  own  Creator,  creating  his  future  life  by  his 
present.  The  end  to  be  reached  is  self-dependence, 
with  perfect  calmness  and  clearness. 


WILLIAM   Q.  JUDGE 

In  a  place  like  yours,  where  so  many  of  all  sorts 
of  natures  are  together,  there  is  a  unique  oppor- 
tunity for  gain  and  good  in  the  chance  it  gives  one 
for  self-discipline.  There  friction  of  personality 
is  inevitable,  and  if  each  one  learns  the  great  "  give 
and  take,"  and  looks  not  for  the  faults  of  others, 
but  for  the  faults  he  sees  in  himself,  because  of 
the  friction,  then  great  progress  can  be  made. 


Organize  and  Work,  for  work,  unfaltering  work, 
is  the  first  expression  of  brotherhood,  and  organized 
work  is  the  second  as  well  as  the  last  expression 
of  the  same  ideal.  Masters,  knowing  how  to  work 
with  nature,  are  the  most  perfectly  organized  body 
in  the  world;  for  nature  as  a  whole  and  in  all  her 
departments  is  the  faultless  type  of  organization, 
and,  as  one  of  the  Masters  wrote,  they  "  but  follow 
and  servilely  copy  nature  in  her  works."  Let  this 
year,  then,  be  one  of  Work  and  Organization. 


QUOTATIONS 

The  power  to  know  does  not  come  from  book- 
study  nor  from  mere  philosophy,  but  mostly  from 
the  actual  practice  of  altruism  in  deed,  word,  and 
thought ;  for  that  practice  purifies  the  covers  of  the 
soul  and  permits  that  light  to  shine  down  into  the 
brain-mind. 

Remember  this :  that  as  you  live  your  life  each 
day  with  an  uplifted  purpose  and  unselfish  desire, 
each  and  every  event  will  bear  for  you  a  deep  sig- 
nificance —  an  inner  meaning  —  and  as  you  learn 
their  import,  so  do  you  fit  yourself  for  higher  work. 

Use  with  care  those  living  messengers  called 
"  Words." 

True  mercy  is  not  favor  but  impartial  Justice.

Three  great  ideas.  Among  many  ideas  brought 
forward  through  the  Theosophical  Movement  there 
are  three  which  should  never  be  lost  sight  of.  Not 
speech,  but  thought,  really  rules  the  world ;  so,  if 
these  three  ideas  are  good  let  them  be  rescued 
again  and  again  from  oblivion. 

The  first  idea  is,  that  there  is  a  great  Cause  — 
in  the  sense  of  an  enterprise  —  called  the  Cause  of 
Sublime  Perfection  and  Human  Brotherhood.  This 
rests  upon  the  essential  unity  of  the  whole  human 
family,  and  is  a  possibility  because  sublimity  in 
perfectness  and  actual  realization  of  brotherhood 
on  every  plane  of  being  are  one  and  the  same  thing. 


QUOTATIONS 

The  second  idea  is,  that  man  is  a  being  who  may 
be  raised  up  to  perfection,  to  the  stature  of  the 
Godhead,  because  he  himself  is  God  incarnate. 
This  noble  doctrine  was  in  the  mind  of  Jesus,  when 
he  said  that  we  must  be  perfect  even  as  is  the 
Father  in  Heaven.  This  is  the  idea  of  human 
perfectibility.  It  will  destroy  the  awful  theory  of 
inherent  original  sin  which  has  held  and  ground 
down  the  western  Christian  nations  for  centuries. 

The  third  idea  is  the  illustration,  the  proof,  the 
high  result  of  the  others.  It  is,  that  the  great 
Helpers  of  Humanity  —  those  who  have  reached 
up  to  what  perfection  this  period  of  evolution  and 
this  solar  system  will  allow  —  are  living,  veritable 
facts,  and  not  abstractions,  cold  and  distant.  They 
are,  as  our  old  H.  P.  Blavatsky  so  often  said,  living 
men.  These  Helpers  as  living  facts  and  high  ideals 
will  fill  the  soul  with  hope,  will  themselves  help 
all  who  wish  to  raise  the  human  race. 

Let  us  not  forget  these  three  great  ideas.

The  great  trouble  with  the  human  race  is  that 
its  members  do  not  rightly  value  the  imagination 
with  which  they  are  blessed. 

It  is  imagination,  recognized  as  a  liberating 
power,  that  produces  the  gems  of  poetry  and  art 
which  we  so  much  admire,  and  it  is  the  mind 
properly  guided  by  this  power  which  will  elevate 
us  all. 


KATHERINB  TINGLBY 

Fear  nothing,  for  every  renewed  effort  raises 
all  former  failures  into  lessons,  all  sins  into  ex- 
periences. Understand  me  when  I  say  that  in  the 
light  of  renewed  effort  the  Karma  of  all  your  past 
alters ;  it  no  longer  threatens ;  it  passes  from  the 
plane  of  penalty  before  the  soul's  eye,  up  to  that 
of  tuition.  It  stands  as  a  Monument,  a  reminder 
of  past  weakness  and  a  warning  against  future 
failure.  So  fear  nothing  for  yourself;  you  are 
behind  the  shield  of  you  reborn  endeavor,  though 
you  have  failed  a  hundred  times.  Try  slowly  to 
make  it  your  motive  for  fidelity  that  others  may 
be  faithful.  Fear  only  to  fail  in  your  duty  to 
others,  and  even  then  let  your  fear  be  for  them, 
not  yourself.  Not  for  thousands  of  years  have  the 
opposing  forces  been  so  accentuated.  Not  one  of 
you  can  remain  neutral ;  if  you  think  you  can,  and 
seek  to  do  so,  in  reality  you  are  adding  your  powers 
to  those  of  darkness  and  lending  your  strength  to 
the  forces  of  evil.  The  cry  has  gone  out  to  each, 
and  each  must  choose.     This  is  your  opportunity. 


QUOTATIONS 

As  a  body  of  students  we  have  advanced  to  the 
point  where,  if  we  will,  we  may  interpret  the  Higher 
Law  in  a  new  way:  for  we  have  that  divine  power 
which  enables  us  to  interpret  and,  to  an  extent,  to 
understand,  the  workings  of  the  Law.  When  we 
fail  in  this  it  is  because  there  is  a  lack  of  faith 
in  ourselves,  and  a  lack  of  trust  in  that  divine 
quality  of  the  nature  that  makes  clear  all  things  for 
righteousness.

darkness,  unrighteousness,  and  despair,  to  the  ever- 
abiding  Glory  of  a  Truer  and  Better  Life,  and  the 
Hope  and  Peace  of  a  New  Day.

This  is  only  an  age  of  darkness  to  those  who 
will  not  see  the  Light,  for  the  Light  itself  has 
never  faded  and  never  will.

Where  there  is  industry  there  is  prosperity; 
where  there  is  prosperity  there  is  happiness ;  where 
there  is  happiness  there  is  hope  for  the  realization 
of  a  more  perfect  life.

When  we  look  into  the  present,  into  the  hearts 
and  minds  of  men,  and  get  the  "  feel "  of  things ; 
when  we  listen  to  the  mighty,  mighty  urge  of 
the  moment,  we  know  that  we  are  challenged  by 
the  Higher  Law  to  do  ten  thousand  times  more 
than  we  have  done  before,  ten  thousand  times  more 
than  any  other  body  of  people  on  earth.  Why? 
First,  because  we  have  the  knowledge;  second, 
because  we  have  the  opportunity;  third,  because 
we  have  this  Center  from  which  to  work.

Scepticism  has  been  the  great  stumbling-block 
for  humanity  all  down  the  ages.  It  has  ever  stood 
between  man  and  his  divine  possibilities.  But  when 
a  man  bestirs  himself  to  right  action,  and  begins 
to  feel  the  possibility  of  a  divine  life  in  himself, 
then  the  door  will  open  and  he  will  find  com- 
panionship and  help  all  along  the  way,  even  in  the 
most  silent  and  most  trying  moments  of  his  life. 


Humanity  calls  for  aid.  Who  of  you  has  the 
strength,  the  will,  to  go  forward?  To  them  I  call, 
and  upon  them  is  already  the  flush  and  the  Light 
of  the  victory  beyond  conception. 


Humanity  has  long  wandered  through  the  dark 
valley  of  bitter  experiences.  But  the  mountain 
heights  are  again  seen,  suffused  with  the  glow  of 
dawn  and  the  promise  of  a  New  Gk)lden  Age.  The 
pathway  is  once  more  seen  to  that  realm  where 
the  Gods  abide.

The  truest  and  fairest  thing  of  all,  as  regards 
education,  is  to  attract  the  mind  of  the  pupil  to  the 
fact  that  the  immortal  self  is  ever  seeking  to  bring 
the  whole  being  into  a  state  of  perfection.  The 
real  secret  of  the  Raja  Yoga  system  is  rather  to 
evolve  the  child's  character  than  to  overtax  the 
child's  mind :  it  is  to  bring  out,  rather  than  to 
bring  TO,  the  faculties  of  the  child.  The  grander 
part  is  from  within.

You  can  never  tell  how  far  an  apparently  in- 
significant bit  of  good  work  may  spread,  for  it  is 
like  a  stone  thrown  into  the  water  in  the  endless 
succession  of  ripples.

Se;i,fishness  is  the  basis  of  the  world's  unhap- 
piness.  There  is  a  vast  difference  between  the  dig- 
nity of  a  soul  and  that  of  a  personality.
